So the main TV channels, like the BBC, are refusing to change their schedules to show any tributes to Sinead O'Connor after her death earlier this week. Seems even in death she doesn't fit the mould.

She wasn't someone I musically liked at all. But she had balls, I'll give her that. There's a terrible sadness to her, almost as though she could have really made a difference to the world with her strength and resolve but was too emotionally damaged and angry and fragmented to pull it all together. Apparently, her son, the one who killed himself, was taken from her at age 10 and some people blame that for his suicide.

Her son who committed suicide, was the absolute image of her. She has left behind three other children.
I watched the last video she made, She seemed so much softer than in other videos and interviews she had given. She must have been so sad inwardly.

I have to think that if you have a child commit suicide that you would blame yourself in some manner. Question how you raised them or what you exposed them to. I can't imagine what she went through after that.

I fear it's a horrible reality that some states of emotion and mental health can be transmitted or passed on to your children, either genetically or by conditioning. She threatened suicide a few times herself and who knows if that impacted on her kids. For the child to be taken from her, would there have been that much instability that his father feared for his son's well being?

She made some confused tweets leading up to her death.
What effect her death will have on her kids lives, who knows? Maybe they will be happy she has found peace at last.
"Sinéad O’Connor “badly” wished she could die without ruining her kids’ lives.
The late mum-of-four’s death on 26 July came 18 months after the suicide of her son Shane, 17, who took his life when he escaped hospital while on suicide watch, also has sons Jake, 36, Yeshua, 16, and daughter Roisin, 27, posted a string of tweets about her desire to kill herself in the years leading up to her death, which have resurfaced since her 26 July passing in London.
She tweeted in 2011: “People who express suicidal feelings are least likely to act on them… anyone who gives u the remotest bit of s*** for expressing suicidal feelings is a w*****.”
Two weeks later she tweeted: “I want to go to heaven SO bad… Can’t manage any more. Badly wish cud die without it ruining my kids’ lives.”
